Postnatal Care and Classes

After you have delivered your precious bundle, and your body recovers from both the pregnancy and the delivery, you may think it is taking a while to feel 100%. Persistent back and pelvic pain, thoracic discomfort and pelvic floor issues are very common.

New mothers can experience the following:

Low back pain

Pelvic girdle instability and pain

Problems with neck and shoulder areas from lifting and breastfeeding

DRAM - or abdominal muscle separation

Weak pelvic floor or incontinence

Fatigue and lack of endurance

At Back In Strength we offer a comprehensive hour long post-natal physiotherapy assessment with a women’s health physiotherapist. This involves:

Pelvic floor muscle assessment

Prolapse and incontinence assessment

Assessment of the pelvis evaluating alignment, support and strength

Abdominal muscle separation assessment

Fitting abdominal binder or SRC Recovery Shorts, as needed

Breastfeeding/bottle feeding posture check

Individualised exercises and advice

All of our physiotherapy sessions attract a rebate with most private health fund providers. We utilise the HICAPS system, meaning all you need to do is pay the gap.
